Grad party gift

I am going to a graduation party tomorrow for one of my friends' parents who is graduating from University of Phoenix. I am pretty close with my friends' dad so its more like I have a friend graduating. My question is, what is the appropriate gift for someone in their late 40's graduating from an online University. Would it be the same as any other grad party, 20 bucks and a card? Case of beer? Has anyone been in this situation before?

University of Phoenix online degree = worthless if you want any kind of real job. Most employers will throw away your resume if you list University of Phoenix as the primary. The obvious exception would be if recommended, but even then you better pray you never leave your job.

Oh I figured that moat people who get a degree from UoP already have a degree. Isn't UoP expensive?

And most people throw away the validity of any comments from a Vikings/Yankees fan.

Really? What's the difference between getting it there or BV online or Upper Iowa online?

I think I'd look into something like U of P before taking a class in a hotel conference room in Ankeny once a week because William Penn doesn't have any other place to meet. That's not a knock on William Penn's program, btw.
